Default which brakes?

I'm approaching 70k and my pads are getting close to needing replaced. Rotors never replaced so I'm gonna do all 4 as well. I'm between the EBC package from Cerrone's or the Ferodo package from AB. Anyone tried either and have any postive feedback? Thanks in advance.

Tony just did my front rotors, calipers and pads. He put on the Ferodo pads and they have been great so far.

Ditto, go to Atlantic British for some good prices.

Do you typically need to replace caliper when doing front rotors and pads?? Or, were you having issues with them?

No, not at all unless they are sticking and if that were happening you can buy a rebuild kit and fix them for CHEAP.

One of the piston's was seized in the driver front caliper due to a torn rubber seal. From the looks of it that boot was torn for a while and the mud caked inside was super compacted. Instead of getting new calipers (at ~$400 each!!!) he got me a set of rebuilt calipers for $150 each.

i just ordered ebc pads for my rover. it has 50k and the pads are getting squeeky. no wobble so the rotors are not warped but i am down to the last 20% of life on the pads. so will do them now before they start to get hot and warp the rotors. otherwise i really want to do the EBC slotted rotors. next time i guess.

next up is springs.
